html2canvas
A JavaScript HTML screenshot renderer
html2canvas is a JavaScript HTML renderer. The script provides you with the tools to take screenshots of webpages directly on the browser. The screenshot is based on the DOM and therefore, it may not be 100% accurate to the real representation, given that it is not an actual screenshot, but a type of screenshot built based on the available data and information of the page. The script renders such page as a canvas image, by reading the DOM and the different styles of the featured elements. It doesn't require rendering from the server, given that the image is created on the user's browser. However, as it is heavily dependent on the browser, the library is not to be used in nodejs. It can't circumvent any browser content policy restrictions and to render cross-origin content a proxy will be needed to get the content to the same origin. -
